Music is a mystery for people who play it, write it, listen to it, and write about it. The only thing I can really do when I try to say something about music is assume.

Mr. Steinhardt, Mr. Simon, and Don Carlo

In January Arnold Steinhardt wrote a lovely blog post about leaving a party wearing Bob Simon's coat, and the friendship that developed after they met to swap their coats back. The other day Mr. Steinhardt wrote another lovely blog post about the musical aspects of their brief friendship.

I am active as a composer, a violist, a violinist, a recorder player, and as a teacher. I began my professional musical life as a flutist, and spent a lot of quality time as a baroque flutist, but I no longer have my baroque flute. Now my modern flute spends most of its time tucked away in a drawer, while my violin, viola, and my viola d'amore are often tucked under my chin.
